架构师提供的文本描述。曾经是一个拥挤的物业，一个老化的平房和一个商业店面，这个生活/工作综合体容纳建筑师不断增长的家庭和实践。扩建到最近改建的平房包括一个新的家庭房间，外部庭院和甲板，阁楼转换和楼梯大厅。店面建筑，加上它的几个非法增加，以前占据了场地的一半，超过了允许的楼面面积，并留下很少的空旷空间。为了腾出空间给新的院子和增加的620平方英尺的房子，超过600平方英尺的店面被拆除。为了降低成本，建筑师在近5年的时间里，在两个人的帮助下完成了所有的建筑工程。

Text description provided by the architects. Once a crowded property with an aging bungalow and a commercial storefront, this live/work complex accommodates the architect’s growing family and practice. The expansion to the recently remodeled bungalow includes a new family room, exterior courtyard and deck, an attic conversion and stair hall. The storefront building, with its several bootleg additions, previously took up half of the site, exceeding the allowable floor area for the property and leaving little open space. In order to make space for the new yard and the 620 square feet of additions to the house, over 600 square feet of the storefront was demolished. To keep costs down, the architect did all of the construction with the help of a two-man crew over the course of almost 5 years.

在最初的平房改造后，阁楼被改建成一层适合居住的楼层，由一间新卧室和一间小屋组成。为了提供进入这些新房间的通道，在房子的一侧增加了一个紧凑的楼梯大厅，留下了最少的足迹。上升到新的螺旋楼梯是淹没在自然光从天窗上方，同时连接到新的外部甲板下面。

After the initial bungalow remodel, the attic was converted to a habitable floor consisting of a new bedroom and den. In order to provide access to these new rooms, a compact stair hall was added to the side of the house which leaves a minimal footprint. The ascent up the new spiral staircase is flooded in natural light from the skylight above while connecting to the new exterior deck below.

在房子和店面之间增加了一个宽敞的家庭房间，将两者连接起来，形成了新的庭院。新的屋顶甲板，建在家庭房间的附加，也是进入新的楼梯大厅。家庭室和楼梯厅的材料与原来的房屋改造相同；燃烧的雪松，清澈的雪松和白色的灰泥。扩建使原来的房子过渡到新的院子和现有的店面，使一个与另一个整体。它与原来的房子和店面保持着独立的身份，同时模糊了内部和外部的界限。

A spacious family room was added between the house and storefront, connecting the two and forming the new courtyard. The new roof deck, built atop the family room addition, is also accessed by the new stair hall. The family room and stair hall are clad in the same materials as the original house remodel; torched cedar, clear cedar and white plaster. The expansion transitions the original house to the new yard and existing storefront, making one integral with the other. It maintains a separate identity from the original house and storefront while obscuring the boundaries of inside and outside.
